Healing to me is being kind to yourself and allow yourself to have those hard days, allow your heart to love yourself because you are pretty amazing. For me art was my way to express those feelings even though I was not good at it, I just let it be and kept going.

Believe in yourself Trust have faith and never give up FEEL IT TO HEAL IT

Healing means letting myself feel that anger, knowing that I don’t even have to forgive myself because there is nothing I should be sorry for. It’s not linear, it takes time and it also takes support and I don’t have to do it alone. There is still so much internalised misogyny I have to unlearn and that’s part of it too.

Someone wants to listen to your story. Someone wants to help. Don't deal with this alone. I believe you, I see you. You can survive this.
Report
Healing is owning your story, it’s allowing yourself to process what has happened.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel - guaranteed. Never give up. Your victory story will help others. You have a purpose. In my darkest days I wish someone told me this. You are worthy.
Report
If you have experienced ANY type of unwarranted sexual harassment, assault, violence - I BELIEVE YOU. YOU ARE VALID AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT.
Report
As cliche as it may be, things will get better. You are believed, you have value, and you deserve the greatest happiness. And you will get it! Make sure to put yourself first, to look out for yourself, and to surround yourself with those who genuinely care about you.

There is hope in survivors coming together to share their stories and offer each other support, encouragement and understanding. We are stronger together.
